Highridin Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Wow. All the "this park sucks" post made me think I was in the Six Flags St. Louis thread for a few minutes. Looks like I need to lower my expectations for this park even more. . . Wait... I doubt that's possible. Yes, impossible.
djackson Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Livai, have you even been to the park before? Don't let a few negative people form your opinion on a park you haven't been to. The park is not bad depending on the time of year you are going. During Spring and Fall the employees are generally different people from during the summer. And the clientele isn't bad except for fright fest. The only bad thing about this park is Mind Eraser and maybe the lack of big flat rides like a top spin or giant discovery.
Canobie Coaster Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Focus on the positives. Superman is a pretty good Intamin hyper coaster. Wild One is a great old wooden coaster. And because "the park sucks", I've never had to deal with any lines there much like Dorney.
Jason Maier Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Cool/overcast much of the day (sun did break through between 2 and 3 pm) . . . Made the Wild One 7 times Hmm, the space where the parts for WW:LOT are stored is big enough for a Boomerang coaster
CaptainCrush Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 visited on opening day! Parking lot was crowded but inside of park was not. Less than 10 minute waits for every ride. They've blocked the pathway to Superman so you have to cut through Whistlestop. Wild One was running great for a 100 year old ride, loved the decals on the trains. Also seems like there are less food choices for the dining plan this year! I wish the mexican place was on it.

djackson Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Is the Mexican place a replacement of one of the walk up stands or an entirely new restaraunt with seating like Chop Six?
Highridin Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Is the Mexican place a replacement of one of the walk up stands or an entirely new restaraunt with seating like Chop Six? Replaced the pizza place by Apocalypse. No meal plan there.

djackson Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Dangit, it would have have be nice to see it be like La Cantina @SFGraAdv
Highridin Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Few more pics. Glad they redid that water fall. Looks good.
Jason Maier Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 I was kind of surprised that Shipwreck Falls was open today (as the high was only 60 degrees). But yeah, WW:LOT is looking good so far
Highridin Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 I hear you. We are talking about people who keep blizzard river open during FF though..lol.. Of course that's like comparing apples to oranges. In general, the same type, but are totally different.
CedarFanboy Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Uh oh... www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/248441128-story
boldikus Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Jokers Jinx saddled with riders. Again. Rescue underway. http://www.wusa9.com/mb/news/local/bowie/rollercoaster-stuck-at-six-flags-america-with-dozens-on-board/431116906 Edit ^ beat me.
dchang11 Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 These LIMs always get stuck. The same thing happened to the former Chiller at Great Adventure back in 2004. The situation was worse there. I think Six Flags will remove Jokers Jinx in the near future.
beenagins87 Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Ok, so I live in Nashville, so I'm guessing slow news day in TN?? Because the only six flags most people in our area know is the one in Atlanta.

I know both of the Mr.Freezes had issues in the beginning, but aren't LIMs pretty reliable in general??

Also seems like there are less food choices for the dining plan this year! I wish the mexican place was on it. Lot looked pretty full today by time left around 4, but the park itself did not seem crowded, weird with the water park not open. Lines didn't get longer until about 2 PM and they put second trains on WIld One and Apocalypse when the ques started to fill which was nice to them responsive. Many rerides and I agree the decals look sharp. VR was not running on Mind Eraser. Finding a place to eat with the dining plan was irritating. Half of the places were closed. My daughter wanted a burger and both grills were closed and Rockets isn't on the plan. WTF? No burgers and no tacos!
DoinItForTheFame Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Uh oh... www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/248441128-story Hasn't this happened before??? Not really "major" news. . . I'm just hoping it's back up and running for my visit to the park at the end of the month!!

I think Six Flags will remove Jokers Jinx in the near future. I remember back in 2014 JJ also got stuck . . . . but overall, why has JJ fared better than it's ill fated (but awesome in theory) former LIM comrade in coaster Batman & Robin: The Chiller? And if they do remove JJ, what would go in it's place? A boomerang coaster or something along the lines of V2?

Great America has so many outstanding coasters V2 is sort of underrated, kind of like Wicked Twister seems to be at CP.
TBpony414 Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 The local news has been covering this nonstop for quite some time now and acting like it's a high rise fire. "The children will be first to be rescued" ... "Their parents must be scared to death"... and my favorite was them bringing in a weatherman and saying that with the sun going down it's going to get cold and none of them are wearing jackets
